The case of transsexual Kellie Telesford's death will be reviewed by
police after a teenager was cleared of her murder.

Shanniel Hyatt, 18, of Northborough Road, Thorn- ton Heath, admitted
being with her on the night of her death and stealing her mobile
phone, freeview box and DVD player.

But a jury believed the teenager when he said he left Miss Telesford
"fit and well" and had not strangled her with her scarf.

Joanna Greenberg QC, defending, suggested the 39-year-old could have
died during a "kinky sex game" with another man after Hyatt left her
flat in Leander Road, Thornton Heath.
